[PATCH 4/4] xfs: Protect xfs_file_aio_write() with sb_start_write - sb_end_write

From: Jan Kara
Date: Wed Jan 11 2012 - 20:21:17 EST


Replace racy xfs_wait_for_freeze() check with reliable sb_start_write()
- sb_end_write() locking. Due to lock ranking dictated by the page fault
code we have to call sb_start_write() after we acquire ilock.
